Ranking the 10 most valuable Brewers who will define club's future

2. 2B Brice Turang

Brice Turang’s year-to-year progression has been remarkable to watch. Once viewed primarily as a glove-first player, albeit one talented enough to win a Platinum Glove, Turang has now developed into a legitimate power threat and middle-of-the-order run producer.

With the all-around impact he is making this season, Turang has firmly re-entered the conversation to receive MVP votes once again. After finishing 14th in voting last year, he appears well positioned to at the minimum crack the top 10 this season. How high he ultimately climbs may depend on just how much offensive production he maintains, but it is no longer unrealistic to envision a season in which he finishes with 20 home runs, 100 RBI, and 20 stolen bases.

Over the remainder of this season and the next three years, Milwaukee has plenty of reason to be excited about Turang. Having what projects to be one of the best offensive second basemen in baseball, who pairs that production with elite defense, is both a luxury and a major advantage moving forward.

1. OF Jackson Chourio

At just 22 years old, Chourio is already in the third season of his eight-year contract extension, a deal that could ultimately stretch to 10 years if Milwaukee exercises a pair of $25 million club options. Even at its peak, the contract otherwise maxes out at an average annual value of only $17.25 million, making it look rather team-friendly.

Chourio has already shown that the extension was a smart investment by Milwaukee. Defensively, he has proven capable of handling all three outfield spots, with left field serving as his primary position while also stepping in admirably in center field out of necessity for much of last season. Offensively, he still has not fully posted the type of numbers many expect him to eventually reach, but there have been understandable circumstances behind that. He bounced back from a slow start to his rookie campaign in 2024, a hamstring injury slowed him during 2025, and this year a hand fracture sidelined him for roughly one month.

Because of that, it may not be until 2027 that fans truly see the MVP-level numbers many believe he is capable of delivering. Even so, his bat already changes games on a nightly basis, and the reality is that Milwaukee’s lineup looks completely different when he is not in it. As long as Chourio is healthy and available when the stakes are highest, the Brewers will always have a dynamic offensive centerpiece capable of carrying the team.
